Eileen Elizabeth
“I paint the moments I don’t want to rush: the scent of magnolias before I see them, the second my toes hit the sand.”
Artist statement
My paintings move between nature and the human form, and most of them are about how little time we get with the things we love. I build each one in layers, and many come with a poem I write while I paint. I’m curious by nature, so a painting can start almost anywhere: a color palette I can’t stop thinking about, the dynamics of modern relationships, or a flash of déjà vu.
Biography
Eileen Elizabeth is a painter working in acrylic and mixed media. She was born in Baltimore and lives and paints in Northern Virginia with her two boys.
Eileen spent years studying why people do what they do, with master’s degrees in Behavioural Science from the London School of Economics and Data Science from Northwestern. Painting has been part of her life as long as she can remember, and in the last few years it became a serious practice. Her paintings are in private collections, and she takes a small number of commissions each year.
